The Independence Runway at the Virgin Australian Melbourne Fashion Festival put the spotlight on last year’s Tiffany & Co. National Designer Award winners Strateas.Carlucci in a slightly-tweaked, more celebratory format that I hope continues in coming years with other indy labels that deserve to shine. Other doing-it-for-themselves labels also took to the runway including Celeste Tesoriero, Dress Up, Elissa McGowan, Emma Mulholland, Pageant and Salasai.
